Nordstrom Rack store to go in old Borders site in South Reno

Nordstrom Inc. today announced a 31,000-square-foot Nordstrom Rack will open in Reno at Redfield Promenade, at the site of a former South Reno Borders.

Nordstrom said a spring 2015 opening is planned for the store, which is an outlet form of Nordstrom. The company in a news release described it as an “off-price retail division … offering customers a wide selection of on-trend apparel, accessories and shoes at an everyday savings of 30-70 percent off regular prices.”

"We are pleased to have Nordstrom Rack as a tenant at Redfield Promenade, which represents the retailer's 12th location within our portfolio," Kimco Chief Operating Officer Conor Flynn said in a statement. "The reconfiguration of the center to accommodate the new Nordstrom Rack store highlights the success of our redevelopment strategy in helping to attract best-in-class retailers to our centers and enhance the shopping experience for our customers."

It will be the second Nordstrom Rack in Nevada; the other is in Las Vegas. A regular “full-line” Nordstrom also exists in Las Vegas.

"We're thrilled to bring a Nordstrom Rack to the Reno community," Nordstrom Rack President Geevy Thomas said in a statement. "This central retail location at Redfield Promenade is a good fit for us and we look forward to offering customers access to fashion at great prices when we open our doors next year."

Nordstrom follows a string of recent retail and restaurant “gets” for Reno consumers and diners: A Chipotle and an IMAX theater opened this month, and a Cheesecake Factory was also announced this year for Meadowood Mall.
